Wales Mountain Bike Routes Guide

South Wales: Lungbusting climbs over high mountains, stupendous drops from remote passes, sweeping singletrack above sumptuous beaches and the odd roman road and ancient trade route thrown in for good measure.

Mid Wales: There's a truly wild feeling to the moors and mountains that make up the heart of Wales, and fortunately they are criss-crossed with some wonderful trails - could mountain biking get any better than this...

North Wales: The highest mountain in Wales provides the biggest climb and descent in the book, but there is so much more to North Wales than this. Snowdonia provides mountain biking in real mountains but don't overlook the outlying ranges of the Berwyns and Clwyds, there's plenty to go at there too...

The Clwyds (Clywdian Range) are a compact area of hills in North Wales. Lying to the west of Chester they are only about an hours drive from Manchester and Liverpool, 1h 20 from Stoke and 20 mins from Llandegla Trail Centre.
What to expect: hilly mountain biking on trails that are not too technical but are great fun.
Trails: There are forest tracks, peaty & grassy singletrack, wide grass tracks, farm tracks. Plenty of tough climbs and swooshing descents.

West of Conwy Mountain Bike Map

Includes a trip to the top of Drum.

Mountains and sea - a great mixture providing a dramatic backdrop to a full-on mountain biking area. Climbs and descents to leave you tired and exhilarated. The tracks are generally good quality and hold up well in wet - though be prepared for biking through puddles on the roman road and a bit heavier going on the grassy trails.
